Posts From Other Awesome People
We search the Internet to bring you relevant information to help you be a better youth worker. Here are some links from posts we thought were pretty great.- Brad Griffin--Ugh. This post from FYI was great, but, albeit on a subject that just kind of deflates me: "Teen Plastic Surgery On Rise."
- Brian Berry--Brian manages to blend the personal and the ministry application perfectly in this blog post. Awesome stuff: "Middle Schooler In My House, Round 2."
- Doug Fields--One of my fav posts of the week: "Three Buttons Parents Should Use on Their Remote"
- Doug Franklin--Short, sweet, super-duper insightful, as always: "Focus Precedes Success."
- Jeff Munroe--Read quite a few posts making ministry application to the Penn State scandal. This one was one of the best: "Why Penn State is an overdue wake-up call for youth ministry"
- Josh Griffin--Loved this post. Loved. It. "The Importance of a Youth Ministry Yoda In Your Life."
- Michael Hyatt--Not a youth ministry post, per se, but these are great suggestions in a post entitled, "5 Ways To Make More Time To Read."
- Phil Bell--Phil is speaking my language here: "3 Things I am Changing Next Fall." Always be evaluating!
- Rachel Blom--This is a really useful post by Rachel. Worth the read: "The 5 crucial elements of event communication."
- Ron Edmondson--Not youth ministry, but a very strong post here: "7 Traits of an Insecure Leader."
That's all the links for this week. As always, have an awesome weekend . . . And THANK YOU for the chance to serve you as part of the ym360 community.
